Today around 8:00am I saw a Titanium 8 pulling out of the Tim Horton's parking lot as I (V red) was pulling in to the Esso station....waved..he waved back. That's only the second time I've had an RX8 owner wave back...you're all snobs!! :D

Last night at about 9:00 at the car wash at 10 Ave. 10 St. SW, I saw another titanium 8. The guy ignored me, though.

Saw a silver 8, no spoiler, driven by a blonde-haired woman, westbound on 6th Ave S, near 3rd Street W, at about 4:15 PM today.

Anyone here?

Saw two RX8's on the way home from work today.


1) Black, saw him on Crowchild near Genmore trail and followed all the way to 16th ave and Stoney trail....nice black car....you don't see to many black RX8's on the road. It had all the toys but strakes.

2) V Red at the lights on Crowchild and Nose hill drive....basic GT

both waved.

So I'm pretty sure I saw Lamfc's car parked beside me today. I recognize your exhaust, rims/tires and strakes. Saw that mystery yellow 8 again on 32nd Ave. I'm going to track that guy down one day.

I only know of 2 Yellows in town (probably more). One belongs to Perodogo (Cochrane meet last year) and one lady that I met downtown who commented on my 8 and told me she had a Yellow one.

I saw another Ti yesterday at Southland Crossing (at about 5:00pm). Had strakes and a spoiler.

Rotten42. that was me in the black 8. It was fun running for such a long stretch next to another 8, much easier to look at the car in motion when it is not yours :D . Car looked good btw. Cheers.

Ha ha ... Lamfc, you'd better wait till I wash my car before you take pics! Don't want to be embarrassed. That's decided, tomorrow morning is washing day.

So yesterday night at around midnight I saw a black 8 parked in front of the Paliser hotel. Then when I was in DEADmonton today, I saw a silver 8 passing by the Greyhound bus station. It's weird eh, no DEADmontonians on this forum (except Canzoomer).

I saw 5 RX-8s yesterday. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

One blue, three silver, one red. It made me sad to see so many. I didn't recognize anyone from this forum, either.

I saw a Tit grey last night NB Macleod turning left at 39 AV. Couldn't get a decent look- I was in my truck and its hard to see down that far.

Saw a Grey yesterday around 1:00 PM at the Blockbuster in Crowfoot. I drove up right behind it, and a guy came out of the store, got into his, and almost reversed right into my passenger door! That would have been a funny police report: one 8 hitting another.

Anyway, I didn't recognize the guy (but I only got a quick glance), but his 8 had no rear spoiler.

Anyone here?

Ok I saw two more black cars tonight. One turning off of Crowchild trail on to Sacree...


the other parked in Rocky Ridge. Let me just warn this person that you better just be visiting because I have already claimed Rocky Ridge. If you do live here I can forward you the name of a good realtor to help you sell your house! :D
